Edition 2025 — Saint Nicholas in Petacciato

In 2025, Petacciato also celebrated its co-patron Saint Nicholas in May with the traditional rite of the ascent to the saint's tomb, the procession through the village streets, and moments of folk music and conviviality, confirming the continuity of a deeply felt devotion by the community.

In 2025, the Festival of Saint Nicholas in Petacciato renewed the tradition of the ascent to the saint's chapel and the procession that brings him back to the village. The festival, which combines religious celebrations, processions, folk music, and moments of conviviality, confirmed the strong bond of the Molise village with its co-patron. The local press highlighted its value as an example of authentic tourism and community identity.

Programme

2025 celebrations: Mass in the chapel of Saint Nicholas, rite of the ascent, and procession through the center of Petacciato, accompanied by folk music and convivial moments.
